The Little Match Girl

What do you do when your family sells you to a ruthless and powerful Alpha?

The story begins on a rainy night when Leon Blackwood, a man known for his ruthlessness, finds a half-starved little girl curled up near his estate. He has no reason to help her. She is just another forgotten soul in a world that doesn’t care. But for some reason, he hesitates. Maybe it’s the way she refuses to beg, or the way she looks straight into his eyes without fear. Against his better judgment, he takes her home. The twins, Elias and Elijah, take an instant liking to her. They cling to her, drawn to her quiet nature, to the way she doesn’t treat them like fragile dolls. She isn’t like the nannies who fuss over them or the strangers who only see them as Leon Blackwood’s children. She treats them like real people. But Annora is not a normal child. She does not flinch when voices rise in anger. She does not cry when she is scolded. She does not ask for things. And at night, when the house is silent, she sits awake, her small hands gripping the sheets, eyes wide open as if she is waiting for something—or someone. Leon, a man who built his life around control, finds himself disturbed by her presence. She is just a child, but she unsettles him in a way he cannot explain. He watches her carefully, trying to understand what it is about her that feels… wrong. Then strange things start happening. The twins begin having nightmares. They wake up crying, speaking of a man in the dark. Their laughter turns to whispers, their joy to unease. Annora never speaks of it, but Leon notices the way she grows even quieter, the way she avoids certain rooms, the way her small fingers tremble when she thinks no one is looking. Mrs. Halloway believes the child is cursed. Victor Alden, Leon’s business partner, seems too interested in her. And Annora? She knows something. She remembers hands grabbing her wrists, voices telling her to be silent. She remembers running, running, running until her feet bled. But she does not remember why. Not yet. The deeper Leon digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Annora is not just some abandoned child. She is something else. Something that someone wants back. And they are coming for her.

once upon a time Rose, the little princess who run from her planet after the planet got destroyed and now she know as Hunter,a girl that really like to go adventure in the Jungle.she also has two friends and together they are the strongest people in her village

Brielle is one of the few female hunters at the association. Dealing with useless trainees every six months, she has a low tolerance for bullshit. She no longer believes in love, and nothing will change her mind after what happened to her. She believes that the only thing she can love and trust is her job, where she helps protect the defenceless by killing those who use their abilities to get everything they want. Hunting is a thrill that she enjoys more than life itself. Having a minimalist life, the only thing at home she cherishes is her painting. A vampire that refuses to choose a partner for his sister. Ketan will do anything to protect his loved ones, even kill those that threaten his livelihood. Usually, he is calm, gentle, and collected. He stays hidden away from everyone when he does not want anything to do with individuals until the day he is captured and locked away in a dungeon. After that moment, his life changed for good. Cursing the blood that he drinks, Ketan fights against the pull of drinking more blood from the person that donated the blood. An Excerpt from the book: Brielle throws her arms around Ketan’s neck. “I was so worried about you. I did not know what you were going to do or if you would survive.” Ketan smiled and accepted her hug. “I am sorry for worrying you. I had to do what needed to be done. Besides, I knew that this was going to happen and be as painful as it was.” Brielle starts sobbing in his embrace. “I think that you should take what you need from me, Ketan. You will not be able to stand the bloodlust soon… will you?” Pushing her away before losing control. Ketan moves away from her weakly. “Stay back. I am not in control of myself right now. You should not even be here right now. Leave me alone!” Ketan holds his hand out to stop her from coming closer to him. “I can hear your pulse racing; it’s deafening.” “You were fine a moment ago; now you are you pushing me away, Ketan? I can help you.” Brielle leans down towards him and gently pulls him into her arms. “No, stop. I can’t control myself, and I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to you. I am not a sedated beast; I lust for every drop of your sweet blood that I hear pumping through your veins, but I must resist. Otherwise, I will harm you in the worst way possible.” Ketan pushes her back and teleports deeper into the cave. “Stay back before I begin to acquire a taste for your blood. It is a deadly thing to tempt fate once again.” Brielle continues to walk into the deep dark cave towards him. “Ketan, I trust you more than I have trusted others. I know that you will not kill me. Just look at how fearful you are right now.” She finally reaches him again. Crying, Ketan grabs her from behind, sits her in his lap. One arm wrapped around her waist, the other in her hair, pulling off the right exposing her neck. Slowly he lowers his lips to her neck, licking the surface testing the flesh. His fangs rest at the hollow of her neck before carefully breaking the skin. He starts to drink her blood deeply, but as he drank, he slowly stopped and lifted his face up, crying while holding Brielle against his body crying. Blood leaking from the bite marks while some drips down his chin. Her body was being held up by Ketan, and her eyes were now closed. Her body seemed lifeless in his arms. She started to slide forward as a deadweight. Ketan catches her and holds her princess style in his lap, rocking back and forth. Crying fresh tears.

From man to god, it seems like he’s reached the pinnacle of life. But not really, because he is Hermes. His mother was of humble status, like a little white flower, and his unreliable father made him inherit a whole bunch of brothers and trouble. No power, just a grand title of a main god? … Hearing this, Hermes, who had just returned from the underworld and even picked up a boyfriend along the way, smiled. Don’t you know that verbal talent is also a form of power? We rely on our mouths to eat! A reputation can be built with just a few words! … In the shameless world of Greek mythology, Hermes suddenly unlocked his full arsenal of verbal skills. He said trees would bear fruit, and fruit fell from the tree to hit Apollo below. He said it would rain, and a cloud appeared in the sky to drench Zeus, who was already busy with his own storms. He said… … Hermes: "I declare, let there be light! Light and darkness must balance, so the glory of the gods will extend beyond the twilight!" The gods, who were tricked: "…Alright, could you please just shut up?"

Love gives us the courage to dream, faith gives us the strength to believe, and determination gives us the resilience to persevere. With these three virtues, we can conquer fear, overcome doubt, and achieve greatness. ‎

IMPORTANT This is only a sample. i have signed a contract with webnovel and the story will be up after editing in a short while here under the same title. Here is the link to the full book. https://www.webnovel.com/book/little-girl's-wild-side_21129307106524005### Gautham bend down to bury his head on Sindhu's shoulders and said, " Will you say 'Yes' already!" What surprised Sindhu was the tinch of desperation in his voice. How did Gautham end up feeling so much for her in a matter of a month??? Even Gautham did not know how desperate he was to make her his. Just now when he saw Sindhu make such adorable face, he felt something break inside him at the thought that she will be showing such faces to someone else if she ended up marrying someone else. "Its driving me crazy you know. The things that you are making me feel.", Gautham said with a slightly annoyed voice. Sindhu did not say anything. She just tightened her hold around him and stayed in his embrace. After a while, Gautham finally let her go. He took one last look at her face, quickly said his bye and left. He feared if he stayed any longer, he would start begging her. ........................................ This is my first work. So i hope people can give it a shot. But this one is going to be very different from the stories you would have seen in here. They are literally worlds apart. There is no backstabbing ex or a greedy relative or a dark haunting past. This is a pleasant light love story of two people facing arranged marriage. A slightly messed up wild woman and a very normal clumsy man. the story should have about 60 chapters and the whole story for most parts is complete. So it wont get dropped in the middle. Hope you like it.

Theodore thought as he opened his little eyes to what he assumes to be one of his parents who is dropping him off on the doorstep of a church at what seemed to be in the middle of nowhere, ---a few hours ago ago--- Theodore was like any other normal person: had a family, had dreams, filled with ambitiouns, liked games, sometimes goes outside, has preferences, filled with desire, and of course went through a difficult time in his life, he was just as normal as the average person is. but one thing he is different from others is that he likes roasting people online especially the rich, he loves making fake accounts just to meme people, judge thier preferences and give rating for their every day (unnecessary) objects, he even makes money from it by making videos about how stupid some rich people are.
